We Shall Reach the Sunny Shore

Robert Lowry • English

Primary Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 4:17

Verse 1

We shall reach the sunny shore, By and by; We shall sorrow never more, By and by; We shall walk with Him in white, In the land of heavenly light; We shall dwell with Him forever, By and by.

Verse 2

When the race of life is run, By and by; And the crown of glory won, By and by; O how sweet to find a rest, With our Lord, among the blest; We shall dwell with Him forever, By and by.

Verse 3

When the storms of earth are past, By and by; We shall be at home at last, By and by; But the sweetest joy will be, When the face of Christ we see; We shall dwell with Him forever, By and by.
